Chapter 258 Loneliness
As the purple ball of light in the cave was extinguished, at that moment, the sun and moon lost color, and the landscape lost its voice.
With his excellent self-healing ability and the help of the card of hearts, Pu Zixuan can still use the weak power of purification to illuminate the square inch of the place, support the cave wall, and barely stand up, but the pain under his feet is always unbearable, soft and weak, get up, fall, get up again, fall down again......
Moving his body with difficulty, he finally came to the side of the mechanical arm, Pu Zixuan reached out and took the heavy artifact in his hand and wiped it vigorously. At the joint with the broken arm of the previous owner, there is still a trace of residual warmth.
At this moment, the insects in Lushan are still screaming, and if you listen carefully, you can also hear bursts of ghostly demon sounds.
This woman who came here from a distant exotic ghost town spent the last part of her life in such a haunted place.
All this just to wait for an opportunity like tonight to tell me everything she knows!
Continuing to move forward, Pu Zixuan had come to the place where Jenny fell, and when he stuck his head out of the cliff, he could feel the whirring cold wind blowing up below rubbing his face like a blade, like hell roaring, but it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
After that, the last shred of temperature on the mechanical arm also receded, and it became completely inanimate.
Pu Zixuan turned over, his back was facing the sky, his face was like ashes, he clung to the cold mechanical arm, and let the tears flow wantonly.
His heart was as painful as ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and as lonely as being abandoned by the universe, Pu Zixuan had never needed the company of people so much as he did now, and suddenly the whole world frantically searched for demonic energy.
"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, where are you?"
Since the power of purification reawakened, this was the first time he had sensed Chen Shuqing's location, at this time, on the Zhupao Mountain in the south of Poyang Lake, Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu had returned to their respective houses to rest, the two sides were far apart, Chen Shuqing's demonic aura was not covered by Xiaoye Hongdou, and Pu Zixuan found it in a short time.
However, after passing through the Infernal Scale Armor, Chen Shuqing became a "quasi-dragon clan", and for a long time, his demonic aura also had a strong dragon clan atmosphere, although Pu Zixuan detected it, he skipped it because he was not familiar with it.
Just like Pu Zixuan's purification power, it also changed under the interference of the Liuyun armor, but he himself was unaware of it.
He just accurately looked for the fox demon breath that he was too familiar with, although the way the breath was presented had nothing to do with the facial features, but in Pu Zixuan's mind, Chen Shuqing's breath was fragrant and sweet, and it was the most "correct" demon aura in the world.
In the end, Pu Zixuan couldn't sense Chen Shuqing's whereabouts, which made him even more desperate - for so many days, because of the loss of his purification power, he could paralyze himself and not imagine Chen Shuqing's fate, and now he ......
He could only hope that because Sun Xiaoshu and Chen Shuqing were together, thus covering up the latter's breath, if it was daytime, Pu Zixuan could rest assured, but at this time, it was late, and the two would definitely not be inseparable...... He couldn't imagine that if his beloved Xiao Jiu also passed away, he would face a world as cold as ice.
With a face like ashes and a heart like ashes, Pu Zixuan just stared at the starry sky like this, his mind seemed to be full of ideas, but it seemed to be empty.
Tired of crying and wanting to be tired, he fell asleep like this.
……
The next day, everything woke up, and Pu Zixuan also fully recovered, only to see where he was lying, there was an abyss under him, and Jenny's body was completely gone.
How nice it would be if everything was just a dream!
However, everything that happened last night was like a nightmare that could not be shaken off, and quickly returned to his mind, Pu Zixuan's face was rough by the cold wind, and dry by tears, he knew that he could only accept the reality that Jenny was no longer alive. Then, he searched for Chen Shuqing's demonic aura again to no avail, and after being stunned for a while on the edge of the cliff, he silently took the mechanical arm left by Jenny, summoned the Star River Dragon King, and flew in the direction when he came and went.
On the shore of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanliang was bending over the pole, carefully rummaging for food in the weeds at the foot of the mountain, his eyes were like torches, and he did not let go of the slightest belly wrapping thing that could be eaten.
Leaning less, Zhu Yuanliang picked up a small string of purple-red and purple-red black rice from the grass, raised it high, weighed it in his hand, and took it to the lake water to wash it like a treasure, and then sent it to his mouth.
At this time, it is almost early winter, wild fruits are hard to find, and even this common black rice in the wild seems to be small, but for a very hungry person, this is undoubtedly a delicacies of the mountains and seas on weekdays.
Zhu Yuanliang quickly devoured a string of black rice, and squatted in place in a cute manner, looking at the four directions vigilantly, as if the enemy would come to invade at any time, first looked to the left, did not see anything abnormal, and then turned back to the right.
At this moment, I happened to see Pu Zixuan standing upright, with his hands behind his back, and looking at himself condescendingly with a wry smile.
In fact, Pu Zixuan had been hiding in the dark and observing Zhu Yuanliang for a while, and it was rare for him to see this pitiful appearance of the little hair, as innocent as when he was a child, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, and only appeared at this time.
"Fat dun, what do you eat alone? I don't share it with my brother. Pu Zixuan smiled and asked questions, just like every day.
"Hey, you slut, you said you went up to the mountains to hunt game, why didn't you go back?" Zhu Yuanliang looked at Pu Zixuan, and suddenly became angry, got up and asked, "Do you know how worried I am?" ”
Pu Zixuan smiled: "Are you worried about your stomach, or are you worried about my brother's safety?" ”
Zhu Yuanliang snorted: "It's both, but it's mainly my stomach!" What kind of game did you catch? After speaking, he was going to look at Pu Zixuan's hand hidden behind him.
Pu Zixuan dodged for a while, not letting Zhu Yuanliang see what was behind him, and sighed: "It's hard to say, since you haven't eaten, why don't you go back to the Old Man Temple to find Zhu Yeba?" ”
"Why? Why do you say? Of course, I'm afraid that Jenny will come to us again! With our skills, can we deal with that female demon? So, I couldn't wait for you to come back, so I slept on this lake for the night. We are such righteous people, even if we suffer some losses ourselves, we can't even affect others! After speaking, Zhu Yuanliang's curiosity was adjusted to the extreme, and he wanted to stretch out his head to see Pu Zixuan's hand.
Pu Zixuan restrained his smile, no longer dodged, took out Jenny's mechanical arm from behind his back, and fell on it with a sad gaze: "You don't have to worry anymore." Jenny, no longer alive. ”
Zhu Yuanliang looked at the mechanical arm that was smaller than his Vajra Demon Descending Wrist, and wondered, "What, you met the female demon on Lushan last night and killed her?" ”
"Jenny's business, it's hard to put into words." After speaking, Pu Zixuan patted Zhu Yuanliang's shoulder and motioned for him to sit by the lake, and after the two of them sat down, he told him everything that happened to Jenny.
"Therefore, the Red Yaksha and the old demon of Montenegro both have ghosts in their hearts, and Jenny chose to cut herself off in order to make us have one less enemy......" Zhu Yuanliang listened, and sure enough, he was like Pu Zixuan, sad, shocked, and angry...... All kinds of flavors come to my heart.
"That's it. This is a relic left by her, and your arm is too thick to be used, so I thought I would take it down so that you could take a look at it, and we buried it properly. ”
"Yes, a hundred yes!"
The two of them found a flat land nearby, dug up a small "grave" two feet square, put the mechanical arm into it, and backfilled it with rammed earth.
Then, the two stood solemnly in place, silent for a long time, and let the lake breeze blow gently.
Zhu Yuanliang asked again: "What about Chen Shuqing?" Did you find her? ”
Pu Zixuan shook his head gently: "No." ”
"What does it mean to 'no'? Is it because you don't have her demonic aura, or you haven't gone to find it? ”
Pu Zixuan didn't answer, and after a while, he suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth and asked Zhu Yuanliang: "Do you remember the time when you threw me in the rice field one summer and made me cry?" ”
What Pu Zixuan is talking about is that shortly after the disappearance of his father Pu Weihai, one day, six friends from a private school played together and played hide and seek in a village near Lijiang. Once, it was Pu Zixuan's turn to play the role of "cat", and after the voices of his partners disappeared, Pu Zixuan set out to look for him, but he didn't know that his partners were playing pranks with him, threw him in the rice field, and went home separately.
On that day, Pu Zixuan, who was less than thirteen years old, was looking for the "prey" that would never appear in the afterglow of the sunset, and under anxiety, he actually cried.
Zhu Yuanliang smiled: "Of course I remember." Why did you bring this up all of a sudden? ”
"The last time I dug a grave for someone so lonely, it was for a woman named He Xichen, but at that time, at least Xiao Jiu was by my side." Pu Zixuan is like an old man, tired all his life, and finally sees through the end of life is loneliness, "Fat Dun, after two days, if we completely lose Xiao Jiu, let's take this trip as a dream." After the dream, we will return to Lijiang and be the carefree brothers. ”
